YOUR NAME: Peter Gillatt

HOW HAS YOUR SEASON BEEN SO FAR? Out of the FA Cup, out of the Worthy Cup out of the LDV Trophy (as previous holders) now languishing just outside the play-offs in a season that has been as good as it has been as bad for Tangerine fans.

WHO SHOULD THE SWINDON FANS WATCH OUT FOR IN YOUR SIDE AND WHY? Striker John Murphy is now back on form after a series of good displays culminating in a blinder against Palace last week a threat in the air. Watch out for the pace of Martin Bullock and Richie Wellens controlling midfield - if he gets the chance.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM YOUR SIDE HAS AT THE MOMENT? Lack of central defender our skipper Simon Grayson has done wonders covering this role in recent games.

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR MANAGER? Yes, Steve Mcmahon continues to work wonders on a shoestring.

WHICH HAS BEEN YOUR TEAM'S BEST MATCH THIS SEASON? The 1-0 victory at home to Cardiff City and in the Cup the 4-1 away victory at Barnsley in the first round.

WHICH HAS BEEN YOUR TEAM'S WORST MATCH THIS SEASON? The 5-0 drubbing at Brentford we just fell apart after going unbeaten for so long.

HOW MANY OF YOUR FANS DO YOU EXPECT TO BE AT THE GAME? This is tricky the forecast is poor and may affect the away support but I would have hoped for 500 ish.

DO YOU HAVE ANY INJURIES TO KEY PLAYERS THAT COULD MEAN THEY MISS THE GAME?

All our central defenders are out i.e Colin Hendry, Ian Hughes and Chris Clarke.

WHICH PLAYER WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO GET RID OF IN YOUR SQUAD AND WHY? Well we don't have a large squad and most of the deadwood was offloaded in the Summer but some players have frustrated fans such as Paul Dalglish and many wouldn't shed a tear to see the back of him.

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU WILL FINISH THIS SEASON REALISTICALLY? Just outside the play-offs

SCORE PREDICTION? 1-1 if it goes ahead.
